My Family & Fish

By Peter Hancock and Jane Hancock

Letters written to his two daughters but never sent.
This is the story of one man's life, his family, and his unwavering passion for fly fishing. Told through letters, memoirs and fishing logs, spanning more than fifty years, it follows his fishing life across England, Scotland and Ireland.

From fishing tales of otter encounters to the art of cold smoking your own fish, this book has something for every fisherman, whether they are a novice or an expert. It is filled with nuggets of hard-earned expertise, alongside anecdotes that will stir memories of your own fishing experiences.

Fascinating stories from an expert fly fisherman, precious hand-drawn maps of much-loved waters, and decades of meticulously kept fishing records that reveal changing trends in trout and salmon numbers across lakes and rivers, from the still waters of Devon's lakes to the wild rivers of Ireland and Scotland.

Together, they create a unique record of a lifetime spent fishing - and of the family, places and memories woven through it.
